Nancy doesn’t have to dig deep. There is nothing left to decompose. She digs just deep enough to bury the bones. The remains. Just deep enough to hide their scent from animals. Just deep enough to take the rest of the night. Nancy is good at burying things, but never before has it been so literal.

Summary
Nancy grits her teeth. They’re wasting time. The blood on the kitchen floor's gonna start drying again. Nancy needs to keep going and Robin needs to stop looking at her like that. Like she doesn’t know what to do. Like she did at the hospital—like Nancy’s some ghost to stare at, some phantom.
“You want to help?” Nancy says, unwilling to become a spectre. “Go home.”
----------
In the aftermath of El's sacrifice, Holly can't sleep without Nancy, and Nancy can't sleep at all. Robin keeps coming over, keeps being there. It doesn't help. Until it does.

Summary
Nancy Wheeler survived the apocalypse, got into her dream school, and moved to Boston to start her perfectly planned future. So why does she feel like she's wearing someone else's skin?
It starts small. With a new hairstyle. Then new clothes. And a trip or two to a local gay bar. But every comparison leads back to the same conclusion, the same variable she's been ignoring for months now:
It's always Robin.

Summary
Max hated being pitied, and therefore she operated under the assumption that everyone else hated it, too. Including Nancy Wheeler. To be perfectly honest, especially Nancy Wheeler, because there was a way she carried herself, picking herself back up after every horrifying ordeal and getting on with it, that made Max wonder if Nancy and herself weren’t so different.
aka Nancy gets Vecna’d scene but from Max’s POV bc they are sisters To Me
